36+ Simply White Minwax Stain On Red Oak. I actually love the light color now except that it has a ton of pink in it and it's of. A few weeks ago on youtube, i wanted to see the effects of different stains on white pine and poplar, well this time i used common red i mixed some white vinegar and some pieces of steelwool in a jar, you will need to let it set in the jar for at least a day or two.
I started with a diluted amber dye followed by a light sanding to tame any raised grain.
I have a beautiful golden oak pedestal table and chairs that were just so dated. This stain added very little color to any of the boards, (maybe slightly lighter with a minwax recently came out with a simply white stain and i'm in love with it! Since they all have to be sanded since they all have to be sanded down anyway, we want to do a lighter stain but having trouble our floor guy uses minwax. I have used minwax oil based stain on my oak hardwood floors.
